Freescale Technology Forum Americas opens today
The FTF Americas 2011 program features a 40,000 square-foot interactive Technology Lab with more than 200 demonstrations from Freescale and its partners. The event also includes more than 350 hours of technical training sessions organized into five tracks: Automotive, Consumer, Industrial, Networking and Enabling Technologies.
“We are delighted to be hosting FTF again this year, as it is truly a premiere technical training event for embedded engineers, ranking third among industry events attended by engineers in the ‘2011 Embedded Market Study’ just released by EE Times,” said Henri Richard, senior vice president and chief sales and marketing officer for Freescale. “It provides a unique opportunity for attendees to view and interact with the Freescale ecosystem, a global community comprised of Freescale and its partners, customers and universities.”
The theme for the global FTF 2011 program is “Powering Innovation.” Freescale will emphasize not only its leading technologies and products that help embedded developers differentiate their designs - but also the comprehensive, market-focused spectrum of enablement solutions and ecosystem partnerships needed to help developers innovate and accelerate their time to market.
Attendees will also be innovating ‘on site’ at the event in the Make It Challenge where they have the opportunity to participate in one of two tracks, Mechatronics Robot or Tower System, each of which provides a different choice of tools with which to build their creative, inventive application.
Highlights from the event, including videos, photos, collateral and technical session recordings, will be uploaded to www.freescale.com/FTF frequently throughout the conference. Updates will also be posted to Freescale’s Facebook page, YouTube page, Freescale’s Twitter feed, and the Freescale Technology Forum page on LinkedIn.
Keynote presentations at FTF Americas
Tuesday, June 21 – Rich Beyer, Freescale chairman of the board and chief executive officer
Wednesday, June 22 – Technology Trailblazers:
Heather Knight – ‘Roboticist‘ specializing in developing robot technology that is responsive to human behavior and emotions. CEO of Marilyn Monrobot, which creates socially intelligent robot performances and sensor-based electronic art.
Michael McAlpine – ‘Energy Harvester’ specializing in developing technologies that allow the human body to become an energy generator for devices such as pacemakers and breathing apparatus.
Lynn Loo – examines how electrically-active materials can be processed to make cheap, efficient, thin film devices (such as solar cells). Her manipulation of plastics
could ultimately lead to technologies like tinted solar windows, color-changing sensors to detect water contamination, and smart plastic patches to monitor health.
